Backstory? Bloke seems like a classic unwashed neckbeard.

I believe what happened was there was a bill proposed that would let people change their gender marker if they self-id, and discussion/debate was encouraged among the public. Maya took the encouragement to discuss the bill in good faith, and did so, not realizing that by "discuss the bill" they meant "only praise the bill."

During a facebook discussion she referred to the above neckbeard as a he, when in fact his preferred pronouns are "they/them." She apologized and did not "misgender" him again.

(We should have a "they" bathroom. Men's, Women's, and They's. It can be full of neckbearded snowflakes like him. hahahahahahaha)

The company she had a contract with did not renew her contract. I'm not sure if they said it was because she misgendered neckbeard, or not.

Also, in googling for pictures of the neckbeard I learned that he has since been suspended from his position on some council for calling the people he was governing TERFS and stuff like that.

Her conversation with this dude actually happened after she lost her job:

Thanks for that link. I was confused about Murray and I didn't know the ruling wasn't binding/a precedent. I swear there was another "non-binary they" male with a beard involved who Maya never interacted with but claimed harassment via her tweeting about Pippa Bunce (the crossdresser). The media did a bang-up job lying, misreporting, and generally covering up the facts of this case. None of the men who could have been considered "victims" even ID as transwomen or fall under what the public thinks trans is.

I think gender-neutral pronoun users use "they/them" to form one giant super-annoying special entity. Also, I'm really missing the days of "xe/xir."

Just for further clarification, did he look like that pic when this bill was being debated?

[–]jet199 10 insightful - 7 fun10 insightful - 6 fun11 insightful - 7 fun -  (0 children)

He still looks like that.

Most non binary people don't physicality translation, they just start to dress really unattractively.

Yup.

Well, I guess I wasn't completely honest.

Sometimes he looks like this

Or this

Or this

Surely you can tell by his unicorn that he identifies at they/them, you filthy transphobe!

Wow. Like putting lipstick on a bear and calling it Sheila.
